Squad to pay their respects

To pay respects to the 50th anniversary of the Aberfan disaster and to support the community of Aberfan, the Wales squad have emblazoned their match jersey with the details of the disaster.

After privately visiting the cemetery and memorial gardens in Aberfan in the past few weeks and meeting survivors of the disaster as well as members of the community, the squad requested for their match jerseys to be embroidered with details of the disaster to further show their respect and support.

The players have also decided to wear black armbands in memory of Alun Wyn Jones’ father Tim, who sadly passed away earlier this week.  Thoughts and prayers of the squad are with Alun Wyn and his family at this difficult time.
